This event has ended.

Tableware used in daily life has been one of the most familiar crafts for people since antiquity through today. This exhibition features Japanese tableware from the collection of Soetsu Yanagi, who admired the beauty of daily objects and aimed to unite life and beauty. On display are mainly ceramics, including tableware for special occasions during the Edo period, for the tea ceremony (wabi-cha) and tea-ceremony cuisine (kaiseki), and works used by Yanagi by artists-craftsmen.
